The private picked thirty minutes

Who'll win the pot? The one who
comes the closest to the time their
G. I. pal spends dickering before he
makes his purchase.
And the time he spends is even more important than
the money, for, as it says in the War Department's
Pocket Guide to Syria:
"...
bargainingwhen making a purchase is
customary. It is part of the social life of the
people. They do not tradejustfor the money ...
but to practice their skills and judgments. To
bargainintelligently is to show understandingin

That's the custom of the country ..

to many boys who are stationed there.
There's a custom of our own country, too, that's
new to many boys in service. It's the American cus
tom of traveling in comfort
which troops are doing at the
PTT
rate of 30,000 every night.

So going Pullmanis thrillingly new. And that's what
it will be to you when the war is over.
Then, new Pullman cars will give you comfort and
convenience beyond any you have known. One
new-type car will be all rooms.
Your room-in one of these post-war Duplex
Roomette cars-will be like a private room in a fine
hotel, providing every facility for your comfort and
convenience. But Pullman plans that a Duplex
Roomette will cost you little-if any-more than a
lower berth costs now.
Another new-type car will provide Pullman
comfort and convenience for less than the present
rate for a berth in either standard or tourist sleep
ing cars.
When these two new-type cars go into service,
going Pullman will be more than ever the custom of
the country.
